Chapter 788 Mangbai appears

At the order of Mu Tianbo of Li Dingguo, the Ming army's artillery immediately set up a large-caliber mortar and began bombing at the top of Awa City.

At first, there were artillery fighting back at the top of Awa city, but in the carpet bombardment of a thousand mortars, there was no movement on the top of the city.

In fact, there were no Burmese troops in the city. They were basically subjects temporarily recruited by the Burmese king, and also self-defense forces formed by the servants of civil and military officials.

The only combat-capable one is the King's Guard, who is responsible for guarding the royal palace and the Burmese King, and will not come to defend the city at all.

At this time, the Burmese King sat on the imperial throne with empty eyes.

The lord fought with the lord and the ministers in Qiuhou, and the hall was in chaos.

At this moment, a general of Touo ran into the hall panting:

"Report to the king, the Ming Navy is so fierce. They actually have real iron-armored warships. And the artillery on the warships fired flowering bullets, and what rockets are there? All our coastal cities and regions have suffered fatal blows from the Ming Navy. Yangon, Bosheng, Maudanm, Bosheng, Tuwa, etc. are all lost..."

The ministers of Dongyu, who were still noisy just now, suddenly became quiet after hearing the report from the visitor, and they were all as stupid as a wooden chicken.

They originally wanted to retreat from the navy if they could not defeat the Ming Dynasty! Now the plan has been ruined.

As for burying into the primeval forest, they couldn't even think about it, it was not a place for people to stay.

After a while, the ministers gradually calmed down, and they all looked at the boss of Dongsuo, King Talong above.

At this time, King Long was even more confused than his ministers, and he was filled with regret at the same time.

He was originally from the Ming Dynasty and had always had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. After receiving the notice from the Ming Dynasty, he also wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

However, most of the ministers advocated fighting against the Ming Dynasty, and they believed that Dongxu could fully protect himself.

King Long's thoughts were equally influenced by his ministers, and it was too late to regret it now.

Looking up at the ministers in the hall, King Talong said weakly:

"Prepare and inform the whole city to give up resistance and surrender to the Ming Dynasty..."

Hearing that the king was about to surrender, the Lord's minister immediately smiled:

"King, it should have been like this long ago. Japan and Netherlands and Spain cannot beat the Ming Dynasty, so we must be even worse..."

It is obvious that Myanmar is weak and is basically fighting against the Ming army with force. At this time, those pro-war factions bowed their heads and said nothing.

Suddenly a voice came, and then a strong young man walked into the hall:

"King, you must not surrender. Once you surrender, the 100-year foundation of the Dongyu Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of our generation. I am willing to lead the elephant soldiers and the Ming army to fight to the death. If I lose to the Ming army, it will not be too late for you to surrender again..."

Everyone looked up at the visitor and found that the visitor was Mangbai, the grandson of King Long.

Mangbai was less than 20 years old at this time, and he was also considered a powerful general in the Dongyu Dynasty.

The officials of the lords who had originally wanted to surrender suddenly heard someone stopping them from surrendering, and they were preparing to fight people in groups.

But when they saw the person coming, they immediately stopped talking. This kid was not easy to mess with and would chop people with a knife at every turn.

King Talong waved his hand powerlessly:

"Forget it, Mangbai, don't resist unnecessary things and surrender!" Obey him in everything.

"King, let Mangbai's elephant soldier try..."

After saying that, the boy turned around and left. King Long could only shake his head helplessly. He favored his grandson and listened to him in many things.

"You guys prepare and surrender immediately if Mangbai fails..."

"Abide by the order"

This Mangbai is the protagonist of the history of creating the water disaster. He is still young at this time.

Under the support of his ministers, King Gui Zhu Youlang took over the important task of upholding the orthodox Ming Dynasty and established the Yongli Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the down-and-out phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken, and Zhu Youlang has not many soldiers available in his hands and was defeated by the Qing army in three or five times.

Zhu Youlang took the Ming Dynasty's legacy to retreat to Yunnan and built the capital in Kunming, intending to make a comeback here.

What caught them off guard was that Wu Sangui, the former general of Shanhaiguan, was in a prosperous state under the command of Manchus.

Now he is leading the army to fight to his old superiors. The Qing army is coming in full force, and Zhu Youlang has no idea.

In order to save his life and continue the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang had to continue his escape with his ministers until he escaped from the border and arrived in Myanmar.

When the Burmese king saw Zhu Youlang coming in a hurry, he said that he could provide shelter for the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but he made a request to let the Ming army be disarmed.

There is no way, after all, I have already left the border, so I naturally have to follow the guests on the territory of others. Zhu Youlang ordered the soldiers to remove their arms.

In order to express his gratitude to the Burmese king, Zhu Youlang presented all the property he carried.

Although the Burmese king warmly welcomed the arrival of the small court in the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was secretly dissatisfied.

Before this, the Ming Dynasty was the upper country of the Celestial Empire, and Myanmar, as a small border country, naturally could not afford to offend it, so it was only natural to bow down to it.

But to this day, Nanming is like a betrayal dog fleeing, and still maintains the style of a sect leader, which really annoys the Burmese people.

In fact, Zhu Youlang knew the dissatisfaction of the Burmese people.

As early as when they passed by, Myanmar officials along the way made things difficult for many times.

If Yunnan General Mu Tianbo had not taken out the seal of General Envoy to confirm the identity of a group of people, they would probably not even see the Burmese king.

At first, the Burmese king's dissatisfaction with the Nanming was hidden in his heart and did not show it.

In his impression, the Ming Dynasty was a giant, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Emperor Zhu did not have many soldiers around him, there were still many anti-Qing and restoring Ming forces in the Central Plains, and these forces were nominally dispatched by the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the unknown situation of the Central Plains, no one can guarantee whether the Ming Dynasty could restore its orthodoxy. With this idea, the Burmese king always treated the Southern Ming with courtesy and dared not offend him.

The following year, civil strife broke out in Myanmar, and the brother of the Burmese king Mangbai, with the support of the private party, overthrew his predecessor and became king.

The house was raining all night long. After the death of the old Burmese king, the war situation in the Central Plains took a sharp turn, and many anti-Qing and restoring Ming forces were suppressed by the Qing army.

Seeing that the Southern Ming had no hope of restoring the country, the new Burmese king's attitude towards the Southern Ming took a 180-degree turn.

On the day the new king came to power, he sent an invitation to visit the Nanming elder, but only a few ministers attended, and Zhu Youlang did not show up at all.

This move made the new king firmly believe that Zhu Youlang despises him.

In fact, it was not that Zhu Youlang didn't want to come forward, but that he couldn't come forward.

Now that things have come to this point, everyone wants to please the Burmese king, but Zhu Youlang has no money at all and basically uses it to respect the old king. How can he have the money to give the new king a gift?

Unfortunately, Mangbai didn't think so. He firmly believed that Zhu Youlang still had a lot of money, but he just didn't want to give it to himself.

Since then, Mangbai's attitude towards Nanming has become worse and worse. He feels that the Southern Ming regime has long been dead in name only. Since it cannot squeeze out the surplus value, it is better to destroy it as soon as possible.

Mangbai ignored etiquette and sent an envoy to ask Zhu Youlang for congratulations.

However, Zhu Youlang is so poor that he can't afford to pay.

So the messenger replied to Mangbai in a dilemma, saying that Zhu Youlang didn't want to take a penny.

Zhu Youlang had no choice but to send people to the Burmese court many times to say good things.

However, without seeing the actual benefits, Mangbai couldn't listen to these meaningless words at all.

In July of the same year, Mangbai saw that Nan Ming was really unwilling to pay money, so he decided to make a move to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and squeeze Zhu Youlang's last trace of value.

For this reason, Mangbai sent someone to the inn to invite Zhu Youlang to cross the river, saying that he had prepared cursive water by the river. As long as Zhu Youlang drinks cursive water, Mangbai and the Emperor of Southern Ming will be eternal friends.

The two countries have formed an alliance on this and shared the same hatred against the enemy. If Zhu Youlang refuses to come to the appointment, Myanmar will cut off relations with the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Since the Ming people had been disarmed before, they could only be slaughtered. Mu Tianbo took the knife from the enemy's hand and fought with Burmese soldiers, and eventually killed nine enemies.

Others picked up the stone sticks around them and fought to the death with the Burmese people. However, they could not defeat the fully armed Burmese people and died one by one under the swords of the Burmese people.

Emperor Yongli was also under house arrest, and later handed over to Wu Sangui and executed
